#SyntheticStock #Fuzzy – I’ve been…

#SyntheticStock #Fuzzy – I’ve been watching everyone trade this recently so thanks for getting it on my radar. Weeklies with decent premium and a little pullback. Exactly what I look for to get in these types of trades. I’m going hybrid again…in between a 90 day Fuzzy and a full blown LEAP. Taking it out to July to give it some time.

Sold EXAS JUL 20 2018 50.0 Puts @ 7.55
Bought EXAS JUL 20 2018 50.0 Calls @ 7.37
Bought EXAS JUL 20 2018 48.0 Puts @ 6.50

This gives a net debit of 6.32 for the Jul 2018 position. Add the 2.00 point max downside and get a max loss possibility of 8.32. Based on that, and the 26 weeks remaining in the trade I only need to average about 32 cents per week in sales to cover the absolute worst case scenario.

So:

Sold EXAS JAN 26 2018 51.0 Calls @ 1.15
